Schools in Westlake Village, CA

“We have been extremely happy with Futures. The director, Laura France, and the entire staff bends over backwards to accommodate my daughter with her learning and emotional health challenges. I highly recommend the Westlake campus, especially for students who are struggling in public school. No other school I know of can give such an individualized approach to teaching. My daughter loves the one on one teacher to student ratio and has made great connections with all her teachers. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

“There are very few places in life that genuinely become part of your family. For the past five years, Montessori of North Ranch has been exactly that for ours.

As one child graduates and our youngest continues enrollment, we've had the opportunity to look back on every classroom, every teacher, and every season. What stands out most isn't just one exceptional teacher. It's that every single teacher has been exceptional.

Looking back, it's remarkable how thoughtfully the leadership places each educator. Every time our children move into a new classroom (advance to the next age grouped class), we couldn't imagine having a better teacher than the one they were leaving. Then we'd meet the next teacher and think the exact same thing. Now, after experiencing the entire journey, we can clearly see the incredible gifts each teacher possesses and how intentionally they are matched with the age group they were created to teach. It's something truly special.

The administration and teachers don't simply care for children. They partner with families. Every child is deeply known, genuinely loved, and celebrated as an individual. From the warm greetings every morning, to the thoughtful conversations at pickup, to the daily updates that make you feel like you were part of your child's day, you quickly realize your child is so much more than a name on a roster.

What amazes me most is the consistency. These teachers serve families from early morning until evening with joy, patience, and genuine enthusiasm. Whether you're asking for parenting advice, sharing a concern, or simply picking up your child, you're met with kindness, wisdom, and people who truly care.

Academically, the school is exceptional. Your child will absolutely be challenged, but never through pressure. Learning happens through curiosity, exploration, and purposeful play. Along the way, they'll develop independence, confidence, critical thinking, and practical life skills like table manners, sewing, laundry, fine and gross motor development, and so much more. Week after week, you'll be amazed by what your child is capable of.

Equally special are the families this school attracts. I believe this is a testament to the school. There's a genuine sense of community that's hard to describe until you've experienced it yourself. Parents greet one another every morning, and friendships form naturally. It truly becomes your village.

If you're considering Montessori of North Ranch, or simply stumbled upon its reviews, don't wait. Schedule a tour, ask questions, and even if there's a waitlist, get your name on it. Looking back, enrolling our family here is one of the very best decisions we've ever made, and we will be forever grateful for the people who helped shape our children into the young girl and boy they are today.”

“Our family had a wonderful experience at The Enriching Hour Preschool in Westlake Village. All three of my children attended, and I truly believe their time there helped shape their love of learning and school. The nurturing environment, engaging activities, and thoughtful approach to early childhood education gave each of my children a strong foundation and a positive attitude toward the classroom.

What stood out most was the incredible staff. Every teacher was warm, caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's growth and happiness. It was comforting to know my children were surrounded by people who not only taught them but also encouraged their confidence, curiosity, and social development.

Thanks to the positive experiences they had at The Enriching Hour, all three of my children went on to enjoy school and embrace learning with enthusiasm. We are incredibly grateful for the love, support, and dedication shown by the entire team. I highly recommend The Enriching Hour Preschool to any family looking for a preschool that truly cares about its students and helps them thrive.”
